AKA [[golem]]s! Tammuz are, much like the Golem of Prague, brought to life by a word (usually written on a piece of paper placed beneath the tongue in their creation rite) accompanied by a symbol of slavery placed upon their bodies. The Tammuz are builders and creators. They start out simple (building walls, digging wells) but as they continue on their Pilgrimage their creations become more and more complex. Do NOT call them servants though, as the best way to turn a Tammuz violent is to disrespect its work, forego paying it for its work, or (above all else) trying to enslave it. 

Not working is an alien concept to the Tammuz and one of the most important and difficult things for them to learn- productivity is all well and good, but humans rest and do things for themselves too. Being creations of words, Tammuz have a knack for language, and they often learn many languages while on their pilgrimage. They are stoic and taciturn by nature (albeit prone to pessimism as a result of their melancholic humour), using only whatever words they need to use rather than wasting time with idle talk. 

Tammuz Torment can manifest in one of two ways- either an anxious restlessness that no amount of work can diminish, or a state of apathy in which they can't be bothered to do much of anything at all; in many cases their capacity for language fails them as well, either speaking (or writing) compulsively, becoming mute, or losing the ability to communicate with words entirely. Disquiet caused by them causes this depression to spread to humans, who inevitably end up blaming the Named for it; it doesn't help that the Tammuz's words are always interpreted in the worst possible ways when this happens. Even nature seems to be depressed in their Wastelands, as dark clouds fill the skies and predators stop feeling the need to hunt.
